Mojtaba Khamenei Calls for Muslim Unity Against U.S.-Israel
Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei sent a written message to Muslim countries.
He asked them to work together instead of arguing with one another.
He described the United States and Israel as the main enemies facing the region.
He told regional leaders to understand what he called their enemies’ plans.
He also asked people in Iran to stay united and avoid internal disagreements.
The message was issued on August 30, while Shia Muslims marked the birthday of the Prophet Mohammed.
Iran had attacked U.S. military bases and facilities in several Middle Eastern countries during the war.
Those attacks worsened Iran’s relations with some of those countries.
Khamenei has not appeared publicly, and Iranian authorities have released no recording of him.
